Night one at Bethel Woods had two personalities. Set One brought classic, epic jams in Stash and Kill Devil Falls. Set Two was spacy, reminiscent of second set Grateful Dead. Toward the end of Boogie On Reggae Woman, Trey started slowing down the song and they began pushing into free-form space, sounding noticeably different than just about anything they've done before -- and yes I know that's saying a lot. Boogie On -> Waves -> Prince Caspian -> Cross-eyed and Painless is Phish at their finest.

SET TWO
Down with Disease -> Free, Backwards Down the Number Line, *Makisupa Policeman -> Harry Hood, Cavern, David Bowie

ENCORE
A Day in the Life

SHOW NOTES
*Trey said they were at Page's house when they woke up this morning. Page said they were smoking a Spliff. Trey said later that morning at his house they were on his couch, also smoking a Spliff, watching the TV show House. Later that afternoon they went to Mike's house. "THIS IS MIKE'S HOUSE!" Then they went to Fish's house. "This is what it sounded like at Fishman's house." And Fish played the drum roll to start Harry Hood.
